Ha - that's interesting that they will let you fly over the church but not over Þingvellir. I was there when Iceland played England in Euro 2016 and there were at least 2 Phantoms in the air downtown near the waterfront, though they may have belonged to news organizations.

Related problem here as well, except in my case it's not doing anything. No lights illuminating, doesn't charge on hub or just with charging cable. For all intents it's completely dead.

I’ll have to see if we kept the box. I was in Costco yesterday and saw 90 on the box there as well.

No personal experience (Iceland is where the wife and I first started thinking a drone might be a good idea) but Gullfoss will be challenging. Quite windy due to the power of the falls, and I can’t recall too many places where you could stand and fly and not be in close proximity to other...

Amazon. Under $30 I think.

Our Costco boxed Mavic specifically says 15-days return policy?

I ultimately went with the Hermitshell cases (via Amazon). The plan for my MP is to shoot overhead shots when out sightseeing and as such it will join all the other kit I tend to bring with me on excursions, to include my DSLR, small med kit, rations, etc. Here, my entire MP loadout fits in the...

I've got a daughter in Travel soccer on the local "A" team and I too have concluded it will not be possible. I did a test video in flight with my car and to get a useful shot of the car I had to bring the MP down pretty low. That's going to be impossible at a soccer match, not to mention that...

I'm running the most current iOS on an iPhone 6sPlus with no issues.

My wife purchased mine at Costco. The return policy is not the standard Costco "bring it back any time" policy. I believe you have 15 days to return it at Costco. Beyond that, you're essentially paying $1k (before this $100 off deal) for a MP with a few extras thrown in, which is typically...

I have less than 10 flights under my belt, so obviously a small sample size, but so far no issues with the app crashing with the latest version and running an iPhone 6s+. In multiple instances I've neglected to put the phone in airplane mode and have received Facetime calls from the wife (did...

I didn't see this mentioned anywhere in the manual, but I'm assuming there is no way to completely disable the Mavic (like, say, a cell phone) to essentially make it useless to anyone else other than for parts?

The problem is not when you're leaving an airport outside of Dubai, but if/when you have to go through security at DXB, where presumably any such restriction might be enforced.

Flew mine for the first time this past weekend. Started off in beginner mode. Upon reaching the altitude and distance ceiling, it barked at me and would go no farther, but it did not unilaterally land. Simply wouldn’t go higher or farther. I did manage to observe the RTH and auto landing...

Thanks all - looking forward to learning. After much reading this week, hoping to get on the simulator today and tomorrow before a maiden flight this weekend.
